The Paris Papers of Tuesday, represent the return of the late Cabinet to power next to impossible. Events have taken quite ail unexpected turn ; so that the plans of Loots PIIILIPpE have for once peen attended with signal failure. But reynard in the fable, kill' his resource have yet to be put in requist A 'CQn:Vnittee of the Chamber of Deputies, appointn , l to inquire into the expediency of adopting M. GOUIN'S plan for the reduction of the Five per Cents., has decided, by a majority of five to four, that the measure is to be proceeded with. Now this Committee was the Royal sheet anchor. The KING bad cherished the hope that the Committee would have either repudiated the vote of the Chamber, or recommended the post ponement of tltt question till the Government had come w -Abme conclusion as to the best means of .car tying it into effect. The Royal solicitude was quieted by the appointment of M. FULCIII RON, the father of the piste milieu, to be a Member of the Committee ; and when the scrutiny of votes took place, it was found that his vote constituted the majority. This was ex ceedingly vexatious; and the result was that the KING sent instantly to MM. DUPIN, PASSY, and SA U ZET, commanding them to meet him at the Palace at twelve o'clock at noon on Tuesday, in order to give them instructions on the appointment of a new Mi nistry. His MAJESTY also sent for M. DE TALL EY RA ND, who remained closeted with him from three o'clock on Monday till nearly six. The Duke of ORLEANS alone was permitted to share the councils of the celebrated diplomatist. It is rumoured that the KING desires the Prince to accept office, which the precarious state of his health, and his great age, alone prevent him from'doing. Though the KING finds himself unexpectedly com pelled to call in the leaders of the tiers parti, he is at this moment doing all in his power to weaken it, so as to render it impossible for M. D UPIN and his friends to take office. Marshal GERARD has received the Chancery of the Legion of Honour, on the express condition that he will refuse taking office under M. DUPIN; and Count MOLE has also been bought over to the observance of a sttict neutrality. By such rncans the KING hopes to render his own offer of an accep tance of the services of M. DUPIN an empty compli ment, and nothing more. His late Ministers were men after his own heart, and he will recal them if he can. The Gazette de France was seized on Monday at the Post-office. The cause of the seizure of this Journal, by order of the Government, is not men tioned in the French journals of Tuesday. A letter of the 4th inst., from Bayonne, says—" It is stated that the QUEEN'S troops in Vittoria are about to make a general movement in the direction of Aroya—first marching towards Logrono, and thence to the Ribera and the other points in Navarre, in the neighbourhood of Aragon, in order to stop the Carlist division destined for Catalonia." A letter from Limburg, in Galicia, of the 24th January, is to the following effect :—" The enterprises of the Russian Government against Cracow, have assumed a shape which calls for the intervention of the Court of Vienna. The Deputies sent by that city have received the most positive assurance from the mouth of the Emperor himself. They have been invited to stop here, that they may not run the risk of being delivered, without defence, to the persecution of the Russian Agents, and to wait for the result of the'remonstrances that have been sent to St. Petersburg. " What is most important at this moment in Russian Poland is the pretended conspiracy said to have been discovered in the West, if we might judge by the numerous arrests which have taken place under this pretext, but which are evidently syste matic. " The Court of Russia may very well believe in the hatred which every body bears to its intolerable tyranny, but it knows still better that all arms are fettered, and all mouths stopped ; and its measures of vengeance are coldly calculated to stifle all expressions of discontent in Poland. " There was a serious insurrection at Mahon on the 18th of January. The partisans of the Constitution of 1812, remained under arms for three days, but they were opposed by pro Mises. All was tranquil on the 21st. This news has reached us by way of Africa. " It is officially known that the first Portuguese division has received orders from its Government to proceed immediately to Vittoria, and that the remainder of the Portuguese contingent will shortly follow it."—Constitutionel. It has been announced by a telegraphic despatch, that the young reigning Queen of Naples died on the 31st of last month of a bilious fever. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARts, FEBIWARY 9. Five per Cents., 103 f.

Another letter from our correspondent " Mentor," on the subject of Lord BROUGHAM'S Law Reforms, places before the public, in a bolder and clearer light than ever, his Lordship's paramount services in this rapacity. Arguments may be disputed—opinions con troverted—tut there is no gainsaying facts ; and to facts accordingly " Mentor" confines himself. He states that " during the four years Lord BROUGHAM presided in Chancery, he disposed of every case heard before him, and quitted the Court without put ting any ona party to the expense and delay of having his cause re-heard before another Judge. As an in stance of his unremitting perseverance, it - may be stated, that in the House of Lords one hundred and twelity appeals were adjudicated in a single year ; while in the same duration of time double the number of causes had been heard and determined by Lord BROUGHAM more than during any similar preceding period since the Court of Chancery was established." This extraordinary perseverance, which has given his Lord ship such a proud position in the eye 3 of his country men, is foremost among the many reasons why he is in such ill odour with the Tories=—why the very mention of his name, as an Equity Judge, is never heard by them with common patience. His dispatch and energy are reflections on the delay and irreso lution of his predecessors. You cannot praise Lord BROUGHAM as a Chancellor, without conveying a covert reproach on Lords ELDON and LYNDHURST. The merits of the one instantly recall to your mind the demerits of the others ; just as the circumstance of GOULBURN getting on his legs induces the anticipa tion of a dull, twaddling speech. Though a first-rate Equity Judge, in his way ; learned, experienced, pa tient, and impartial, yet Lord ELDON—startling as this assertion may be to the Tories—will not bear colnparison with Lord BROUGHAM. He wanted that dispatch and energy, which . is the very soul of businesei, whether in law or commerce. While he . paused and hesitated, and kept balancing the pros,and cons of a question that should have been decided by. ccinmon sense, full as much as by precedent, the un lucky suitor was ruined. Now none can say this of Lord BROUGHAM. His judgments, always well con sidered, were never unnecessarily delayed. He did not keep the suitors of the Court trembling from year to year, in all the agonies of that suspense " which makcth the heart sick ;" but taught them that there was balm in Gilead—hope in Chancery. This, we repeat, is one of the main reasons why he is so unpo pular with the Tories, who know right well that they cannot sanction his claims as a Chancellor, without instantly pronouncing a verdict of condemnation on his two immediate predecessors? And are pillars of Toryism like these to be thus shaken to their foundation ? Im possible, say the Tories. Hence the rancour with which they pursue Lord BROUGHAM. But his Lordship's triumph is at hand. He will soon be in his place among the Peers, restored to all his usual health and nergy ; and when there, will take the earliest opportu- EXCHANGE ON LONDON.

COLONEL EVANS AND TILE' REPAESENTA TION OF WESTMINSTER.—On Tuesday night p. meeting .of the members of the PaAchial Asso&tion of St. Martin-in-the- Fields, assembled at the Two Angels and Crown, Upper St. Martin's-lane. Mr. Webb, of the Strand, who was called to the chair, informed the meeting that a deputation from the re spectable Associations of St John's and St. Margaret's West minster, were in attendance—their object being to ascertain from the Parochial Association of St. Martin's whether they had received any communication from Colonel Evans, as to his scat, as one of their representatives in Parliament ? Mr. Simpson said, that as a member of the Registration Associa tion, be regretted to say that no reply had been sent by the Gallant Colonel to his constituents as to his future intentions : he ( Mr. Simpson) certainly had expected the Colonel in England before this. After some further discussion, it was agreed that a meeting should take place on Thursday evening, at the York Hotel, Charles -street, Covent-garden, when the subject wold be fully gone into. THE WAxwlNG.—There were shot at Stoneridge, by Mr. T. H. Hood, on Wednesday last, a pair of that rare and beautiful bird, the Waxwing, or Bohemian Chatterer (anyclis garvula). This bird, which is also found in the West Indies, was regarded as the forerunner of a pestilence by the superstitious of former clays. Their plumage is a mix ture of chesnut, rose, ash, and yellow ; and above the bill rises a conical shaped crest, which the bird can erect or de press at pleasure. About the size of the black-bird, it is dis tinguished from all others of the piet kind, by the seven lesser quills terminating in a horny substance, resembling the most glossy red seali- —K , ay _ang wax.--itetso DEFINITION OF A GENTLEMA is neither in birth, manner, nor fashion—but in the mind.

CELTIC BALL.—Last week, a Grand Fancy Celtic Ball was given at the Assembly Rooms, in Edinburgh, for the encouragement of the Scotch Highland Schools, w hich was very numerously and fashionably attended. The Ball nu pa tronised by the Duchess of Buccleuch, Ladies 'Morton, Wemyss, and other characters of distinction, who were all dressed in beautiful manufactures of Scotland. Tha-t rooms were fitted up with great taste and splendour, including cha racteristic devices. The orchestra was similarly Ornamented, and an excellent band played the most popular national airs in the best manner. Dancing was continued to a late hour, and the receipts of the evening were suitable to the laudablo,object for which the ball was given.

A new tragedy, entitled the Provost of Bruges; was last night produced at this theatre. It is a noble play, abOunding in striking dramatic incidents ? put td ether With Much skill i ind forcible, yet not he_VOn4 the lititili of propriety, In its deli neation of ehatatter. The plot is as follows t---In the time of the celebrated Charles, Earl of Flanders, a person named Bertulphe had raised himself by valour i prudence, and joolic7, from the lowly situation of a tCfe to that of Provost of Bruges, which in those days placed a man on a level With Princes. It was to him - that Charles was lcdebted for his elevation to that potent Earldom. A proclamation issued by Chat tes, and bearing hard upon the serfs, is issued in 13ruges, and excites much commotion. The deadly enemy and rival of 13ertulphe is Thancmar, Chatelain of liourbotog, No living person is acquainted in Bruges with the lowly birth of Bettuiplie but an aged man, named Phillippe, supposed to be something of a conjuror. Bouchard, of a noble race in Flanders, mar, vied the only daughter of Bertulphe, and has thereby de graded himself to the condition of a serf. Thancmar is informed by old Phillippe that Bertulphe was born on his ( Thancmar's) - own estate. and that therefore father, daughter, and son-in-law are his serfs. Some insulting language having been used by Thancmar to Bouchard, a challenge is the consequence. The Earl arrives just at the time in Bruges, and endeavours to pre vent the parties from entering the lists ; but Bertulphe, de sirous of the death of Thancmar, as knowing his secret, urges his son-in-law to the contest, and thus incurs the displeasure of the Earl. Just at the moment that swords are about to be drawn Thancmar refuses to fight, on the ground that Bouchard is a serf, and unworthy, therefore, to meet a Knight of Flan ders. From this event arise all the succeeding tragic disasters, which end in the madness and death of Constance, the death of Bouchard and Thancmar in an affray, and self-immolation of the Provost. Macready played the part of Bertulphe, the Provost, wiih an energy and discrimination that impress us with a higher idea of his powers than we have yet entertained. He display_ ed, too, greater versatilaty than is his wont, for though always successful in his sudden bursts of passion, yet we never knew him to have a mastery over the pathetic. But his acting last night agreeably disappointed us. His pathos was exqui site, especially in the scenes where he is represented hanging over the body of his maniac daughter, and implor ing her by looks, and words, and gestures, not one of which but went to the heart, as from the heart they sprang, to recognize him, if only for an instant. His exclamation of " God, I shall go mad," when he looks into his child's face, and sees there is no hope, and then bows his head in all the agony of a father's sorrow, produced as elec trical an effect on the house, as ever was produced by Kean in his best days. Of a different character, but equally eff ec ., tive, was his defence of himself from his son-in-law's reproach, that he was a Serf. There was no intemperate outbreak of passion ; no boisterous rant, or spasmcdic attitudenizin g in Macready's acting on this occasion ; he vindicated his insulted honour in just and harmonious accordance with the lofty na ture of the character he represented. "lam a man," said he, and his form actually seemed to dilate as he spoke. There was but one blemish in his performance. He too often forgot that he was an old man, and allowed the boiling spi r it , of a ripe and vigorous manhood to be too apparent. This, however, he will no doubt remedy, when he becomes a little more familiar with the character. , Cooper's Bouchard was also an able performance, without aspiring to genius. Of Miss Ellen Tree's Constance, we may say that it was as well played as such a part could possibly be. Her earlier and quieter scenes were her best, because there the . skill of the artist was most requisite to redeem them from insipidity. Warde was sensible and judicious, as he always is, especially in his sarcasm ; and Diddear respectable as the Earl of Flanders. We must not omit to mention Meadows's repre sentation of the old man, Phillippe, who has outlived every thin g but his malignity. It was a quiet, but strongly mar k e d performance, after the manner of the old school ; and told by its very repose and unassumingness. The language, without making any undue attempts at the poetic. is chaste and viorgous throughout. Here and there we detect an absurdity, such as where the dramatist talks of an " eagle " not " being sparrow hatched "—as if an eagle ever could possibly put in such a claim of affiliation—but generally speaking, the language i s strictly correct, and above all, nervous and flowing. Were we to make any objection, it would be to the needless length of the tragedy. Strictly speaking, the interest ends with the fourth act : but it is needlessly pro longed to give opportunity for some developements on the part of Macready and Miss Tree, of madness and despair. How ever, notwithstanding this, it was received with unbounded applause, and will have a triumphant run. After the play, a new comic extravaganza, entitled Frolics in Forty-five, was produced. It was sad stuff, and was damned accordingly The house was full. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The following is this morning posted at the North and Soutt American Coffee-house : " FALMOUTH, FEB. 9. " I beg to inform you that the Sheldrake packet arrived this day from Mexico, with a freight of 400,000 dollars on mer chants' account : she sailed from Tampico on the 16th Dec. last. The Camden sailed from Tampico the same day for England as the Sheldralie. The Camden has 500,000 dollars on merchants' account." Our arrivals this morning are the Mails from Calais, Ostend, and Mexico—the latter by the Sheldrake, sailed from Vera Cruz 24th Dec., and Havannah 9th January. We have like wise ship-letters from Malta, Philadelphia, Bahia, and Africa. Accounts received this morning from Madrid, of the 31st ult., state that there they enjoy profound calm. The Southern provinces manifest an excellent spirit for the Queen, and all the measures which are at present taken are in favour of Mi nisters. At Santander they are assembling 12,000 men. Re cruits from Galicia are arriving by land and sea, and by the middle of March there will be from 18,000 to 20,000 men. Rodil is about to take the command of Arragon, where he will orga nize another corps of 20,000 recruits. A reprehensible custom is observed in the regulations of the Post-Office, whicji gives unnecessary trouble to the merchants. It appears that a small parcel of Mexican papers was deli vered this morning at the North and South American Coffee- House, charged 70/. sterling postage ; but on applying to the Post-Office, the 701. charge was taken off, and only 2d. per pa per was demanded !

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) 'FARR V. beGAHEY. Sir W. FOLLETT (with whom were Mr. PLATT and Mr. TOMLINSON ' ) stated the case. It was an action brought by an elector of the parish of St. Pancras, to recover a penalty of 500/. against one of the overseers of that parish, for having, in, contravention and disobedience of the provisions of the Refortn Act, wilfully and knowingly placed upon the list of voters for the Borough of Marylebone, the names of three persons, namely, Michael Gibbs,' Alexander Frazer, and John H. Benham, who were not entitled to be so placed, or to vote in the election of Members to serve in Parliament. The Act placed a very great power in the hands of the overseers, and it was of the utmost importance that thershould discharge that duty fairly and impartially. They had the power of making out the list of voters, and of objecting to any name that ap peared upon the list. If no objection was placed before the name, then it was not in the power of the Revising Barrister, or any other person, to remove it. Consequently, if the Overseers exercised their power improperly, by placing unqualified persons upon the list, unless persons took the trouble of going before the Revising Barrister, these unqualified persons would remain upon the list of voters. They had very great opportunities of abusing their power, and might, for party purposes, very much alter the list of voters for the borough. The Legislature had, however, endeavoured to counteract that power, and to prevent its being used for patty purposes ; because in every case where there was any contra vention or disobedience of the Act, the overseer or other officer guilty of it was liable to a penalty of 5001. The Jury had the power of giving a less sum, according to the circumstances ; and the object of the present action was not so much the re covery of the penalty awarded by the Act, as to compel over seers, for the future, not to use their power for party purposes. The defendant M'Gahey filled the office of overseer of the parish ; and the question for the Jury to consider would be, whether, in that office of trust so confided to him, he had wil fully contravened and disobeyed the provisions of the Act, by placing fictitious votes on the list. The question was, had he wilfully done so ? It might have been done through igno rance or carelessness ; but if the Jury believed that to have been the cause, then the defendant was not liable to the penalty sued for. By the provisions of the Reform Act, all those who have occupied their premises for twelve months previously, and have been rated to the amount of 10/., are entitled to vote. They must also have paid their rates and their assessed taxes ; and it was important for the Jury to bear that in mind, for any person deficient in these respects was not entitled to be placed on the list. The Learned Counsel then referred to the 44th section, which gave the overseers authority to make out the lists. The Overseers were authorized to have the collectors and assessors of rates and taxes examined before them, and with all these precautions it must be obvious that if any name was improperly put on, there must have been a cor rupt motive on the part of the overseer. There were three in stances laid in the declaration ; one was that of Michael Gibbs. The collector was present, and the defendant being about to put down his name, the collector said "that man is not entitled to vote—he has not resided a sufficient length of time on these premises, and has not paid his assessed taxes." The reply of the defendant was—" It is no business of yours—l shall put down his name as a voter." That name was objected to, and was subsequently struck off by the Revising Barrister. The actual offence of the overseer, was not the less that his attempt to introduce that fraudulent vote had not succeeded, and if they believed that he had put the name of a bad voter wilfully on the list, he was equally culpable. The next instance was that of John H. Benham, of No. 16, Melton-street ; and the collector ap prized the defendant that that person also had not paid his assessed taxes. The defendant, notwithstanding that caution, said it made no difference, and put him down. That name was objected to, and struck off. The third instance was that of Alexander Frazer, of 6, Tottenham-court, New-road. That person w as we ll known to the defendant, and they had acted on behalf of the same party together. The same answer was given by the collector—that Frazer had not paid his rates, and was not entitled to vote. In that case also the Jury would see there was a distinct notice given to the de fendant, and the fact actually was that he was considerably in arrear, and the amount was subsequently recovered by dis tress. NV hat, however, did the defendant do? He ,spelt the name " Frazier ;" and when the opposite party sent in an ob jection to his name, knowing him to be a bad vote, the defend ant placed the objection opposite the name of another Alex. Frazer, of Upper Seymour-street, who was in reality a good vote, and to whom no objection was intended. When the case came before the Revising Barrister, of course the ob jection was disallowed, and the bad vote of Alex. Frazer, of Tottenham -court, to which no objection was made, was allowed to stand, and it actually - still stands, upon the list as a good vote. The Barrister had no right nor authority to strike him off, and the overseer subsequently corrected the misnomer which he had himself intentionally made, and had the name altered by the Revising Barrister from " Frazier" to " Fra zer." The question then was,whether the defendant had exercised the enormous power confided to him by the Act fairly or im properly, and for party purposes. No doubt there was some check upon that power by the objections of the other party, but many persons felt reluctant to come before the Revising Barrister, and waste time and money in opposing these ficti tious votes. It was indifferent to what party the defendant belonged, although in the present case he was of what was called the Liberal party. All parties were interested in the proper working of the Bill. They were to say whether it had been done innocently or by mistake, or wilfully, in dis obedience of the provisions of the Act; and if the latter, he was entitled to their verdict. One ground of defence was, that the defendant was not the overseer ; but according to the 79th section of the Act, any person who discharged the duties of the ofliee'Was to be considered as such. He would now call his, witnesses, and if he proved the facts as stated to them, he would be 'entitles to their verdict. &Auer Straight; Pephly Returning Officer for the bo rough of Marylebone—l produce the list of voters as revised by the Revising Barrister. It is signed by the overseers of the poor, and by the defendant, " John M'Gahey, clerk to the Directors of the Poor of the said parish." John Stewart.—l am one of the Overseers of the parish of St. Pancras. The defendant, I believe, is also one : there are four others. The duties of the overseers are to relieve the poor, under the directions of the directors of the poor. Ap peals relative to settlements are defended by the overseers. The defendant has acted as overseer, and also as vestry clerk, and clerk to the directors and guardians of the poor. He holds several offices. I did not assist in making out the lists. I signed it on the 31st of July, and appeared subsequently before the Revising Barrister. There were questions put to the de fendant by the Revising Barrister. Mr. M'Gahey extended the circumflex, so as to include the name in the list of over seers. He did that in consequence of objections made by the other party that he was acting as overseer, although he signed it merely as clerk to the directors. C r oss-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. —The parish of St. Pancras is governed by a local Act of Parliament. The 41st section was referred to by the learned counsel, which gave a power to the directors to appoint two nominal overseers. And it also empowered the directors to exercise the authority of overseers of the poor. There are forty directors, none of whom signed the list. The defendant is one of seven nominal overseers, but he is not a director or vestryman. He is vestry clerk, and clerk to the directors also, with a salary of 3001. a _year for both. He succeeded Mr. Scadding, the gentleman who sits before, and is instructing Sir William Follett.—_ (Laughter.) The vestry discharged Mr. Scadding, who I believe is attorney for the prosecution in this cause. I know Mr. Farr, the prosecutor, but he never told me that he was e mployed by the Loyal and Constitutional Association to bring the present action. There are about 110,000 inhabitants and 10,000 rate-payers in the parish. There are about 6,000 electors for the borough of .Marylebone in the parish of St. Pancras. There are four districts in the parish for the collec tion of poor-rates. I believe Michael Gibbs is a vestryman and director, but I cannot state that positively. The qualifi cation for a vestryman is, that he must be rated at 401. a-year. Mr. Scadding exercised office as one of the trustees of Church property, and that is why he was discharged. Thomas Coventry, Revising Barrister for the borough of Marylebone—l revised the lists for the parish of St. Pancras. Mr. M`Gahey produced the lists, and I called for the over seers. One gentleman, Mr. Stewart, I believe, said he was a n overseer; and Mr. M`Gahey then said he was one, that the addition to his name was a mistake, and that the c ircumflex s hould have included his name as one of the overseers. The circumflex was then extended, but I cannot say by whom. Mr. ic M.gari'ey then acted as oVersier, during the revision off the lisf.i. 1 6:4' gre - r;arne of Michael Gibbs, 6 , Belgrave-str tL, his name is erased si-Ovii nly initials added, which satisfie me that his name is objected fd 644 struck out.

Mr. ca:' in was in atterZlgneu and sup ported the objections taken by hig 7.skrty, which vvero very nu merous I think all the objections were Given in the 116.M0 of John )Farr, the present prosecutor. There WM several hun dred objections by him. I over-ruled about half of the objec tions. Mr. Farr was in the room, but took no active part—he left it to Mr. Ernest and Mr. Scadding. James Thompson, collector of assessed taxes in the parish of St. Pancras—l collect in the west and ...outh divisions. I attended on the 22c1 July last at the vestry room to assist in preparing the list of voters. The defendant' called over names from a list he held. I recollect his calling the name of Frazer, 6, Tottenham Court, New-road. I said he had fredn very remiss in paying his rates, that he was very much in arreat, owing al. 7s. 6d. I have since recovered the amount, having levied by distress. The defendant said, " Never mind, go on." I pointed out some names he had omitted, but he said " You are to answer my questions, not to put questions to me." Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY- GENERAL—I had no iiispnte with Mr. M'Gahey, but that he told me " I seemed very pt.'rpous r—( Laughter.) There are about 600 or 800 rate-payerS fn my division. I think all of them are rated to 101. a year on the Ihntr.TatCS, and I had to go over a list of several hundreds. Joint Chapman—l am a collector of assessed tales for the parish. J attended the defendant when making out the lists. I saw the 14:51 witness there. Metz he called out the name of J. H. Benhatit, I objected on the gs:•ound that he owed four auarter's arrears. Meter told me in rather a sharp tone to gt. on. William Boddy—l am a collector of asseSsca, taxes for thr parish of St. Pancras. I recollect there was an objection to a person named Frazer, to one named Benham, and csgther to a Mr. Gibbs. I attended to support the objections. Th two latter were struck out of the lists. Cross-examined by Sir F. POLLOCK—I was not there on the last day. I was there for three days. 0. Thisselton—l am a collector of assessed taxes for the parish of St. Pancras. I was summoned to attend, in July last the Court for the revising the list of voters. I remember the name, Michael Gibbs, being called. I stated to the de fendant my belief that no such person resided where it was stated in the list:. I was told to go on. I said I was convinced the house was unfinished out of which it was sought to register. He then called another name. I said, with reference to Gibbs, that thd home was not in the assessment. The defendant called the names as he pleased, irregularly. He was calling from the poor-rate book ; that was the list of all the inhabi tants of the parish. I said he was not calling the names as they had been always done before : he said he should do it as he pleased. I recollect his calling the name J. C. Benham : he was rated for the year at 31. ls. 9d. I said he had not paid the assessed taxes due on the 6th of April previously. The defendant hardly allowed me to look at what he marked in his book. There were due, then, IL 10s. lOid., which was paid on the 10th of October last. Cross-examined by Sir J. CAMPBELL—The defendant had one clerk assisting him ; but I think he did all the business himself. I knoit Michael Gibbs. Yesterday heard he was vestryman of St. Pancras. Ido not know that he lived in Edttlend-street. There Was no assessment of the house in Belgrave street. Benham' resided in Melton-street two years and three quarters. I went over near three thousand five hun dred names. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Sir F. POL LOCK) addressed the Jury for the defendant. This then was the case which was to support a penal action against Mr. ‘M'Gahey, for putting fictitious votes upon the registry for the parish of St. Pancras. The charge was that he wilfully put fictitious votes upon the list ; and that charge having been made, his Learned Friend closed his case by calling the collec tors of rates, who had to go over upwards of 6,000 voters in a very limited time, and out of these 6,000 voters there could be only three instances picked out in which there was the smallest reason to apprehend that any error was sommitted, either wilfully or by mere oversight. Ho protested to the Jury that it struck him with astonishment that considering the great industry employed—that when they had Mr. Scadding and his two most industrious clerks watching the whole of the proceedings, from first to last—employing Mr. Farr, or acting in his name; and when they considered that with all this, out of 0,000 names only three errors were in troduced—it seemed to him almost a miracle, that with all that industry and zeal, so few mistakes were:discovered. Was the present a case on which they , were to find that what bad been done had been done wilfully and by premeditation., design, and corruption ? He regretted that a Gentleman like Mr. Scadding, who had maintained a respectable station in society, should de grade himself by lending his name and services for such an :in worthy office. He had been the clerk to the Directors of the parish of St. Pancras—he had been also the vestry clerk, and had been discharged, not on account of any want of honour or in tegrity, but they would recollect that the defendant bad been appointed in his stead, and he (the Attorney-General) did think that Mr. Scadding would have done better if lie hod ab stained from trying to ruin his successor by means o f a perversion of the penal enactments of the Reform Act, which had never been enacted for such a purpose. Po litical zeal was laudable, but it ought to have bounds, and never wander into a perversion of the criminal law, because the present was a criminal charge, just as much as if it had been an indictment subjecting the defendant to fine and impri sonment. The charge was, that Mr. M'Gahey had wilfully put the names of fictitious voters upon the list, and by so doing, that he had wilfully disobeyed the provisions of the Reform Bill. By what evidence had that charge been sustained ? Had it been proved that the defendant had any bad motive— that he had taken any active part on either side—that he had been a political partisan—or that he had an object in putting votes upon one side rather than the other ? No. Nor had it been proved how any of three persons whose names were selected had voted. He would not agitate the question of law, as to whether a case had been made out—whether the defendant had acted in his capacity of clerk to the directors or overseer— but he (the Attorney-General) would ground his defence upon the fact that there was no proof whatever that the de fendant did not honestly, fairly, honourably, and diligently dis charge the duty imposed upon him. If the present was found to be a case of wilful fraud, there was not an Overseer in Eng land and Wales who would not be liable to a similar action. The duty of making out the entire lists for the borough and county, was to be performed in ten days, and here was a parish with 120,000 inhabitants, 10,000 or 12,000 rate-payers, and in respect to each of them an investigation was to be instituted ; if any were omitted wilfully or by neglect, the Overseer was to be subjected to a penalty. Thus there were 12,000 cases to be investigated in ten days, and in regard to every one of these the Overseer was responsible. In such a number there must be much hurry, confusion, and risk of error, and in such circumstances, he (the Attorney-General) thought there was some ground for forbearance, some inclination to at tribute any error to an innocent cause, but nothing of the kind was observable in the present prosecution. Who was the pro secutor, Mr. Farr ? He was the tool of Scadding—his jackall, who served all the notices of objection, one-half of which were over-ruled by the Revising Barrister ; and he (the Attorney- General) regretted, that as the law stood, no costs could be awarded fur frivolous and vexatious objections. . Farr was a person employed by he knew not what Society, but it was evi dent he was not acting at his own expense—there were some persons behind the curtain moving that puppet. He should like to know who they were, for whatever high-sounding appellation they assumed, they had acted most unworthily in bringing frivolous and vexatious objections, and when they were overruled, wreaking their ven geance on those who had defeated them. The present action' had been brought by Scadding in the name of Farr, and ha (the Attorney- General) did not think such conduct reflected much credit on Mr. Scadding. The learned Gentleman here referred to the evidence in support of the prosecution. There was no evidence to prove that M.Gahey had acted through a corrupt motive ; there was no witness to say that he had done anything through a feeling of partiality to either party. He protested he never heard of a case so unsupported by evidence, and it was was monstrous to suppose that the correction of the spelling in Mr. Fraser's name, could be set down to a disposition such as that attributed to the defend ant in the pleadings. With respect to Benham, and to the testimony given by Thessilton of his being in arrear for the assessed taxes, why was not Benham himself called ? Could they expect M'Gahey to bear in mind, during this long inves tigation of such a number of voters' claims, the individual case of each individual accurately? Might they not suppose him to have a bad memory, and to have omitted, through that, to strike out names which he intended should be struck out? He asked them, were they prepared to say that M'Gahey was influenced by corrupt motives, or rather, would, they not by their verdict pronounce him to have acted honestly, diligently, and honourably ? He was sure they would think that it was wonderful how so few mistakes had occurred in a list of 6,000 voters. He left his clients case with confidence in the hands of the Jury, and he hoped that it would have the effect on the one hand of making officers care ful in the discharge of their duty, and on the other of de terring persons situated as Mr. Scadding was from bringing actions of this kind for the purpose of taking personal ven geance on an unoffending individual. He felt assured that the Jury wauld not believe his client guilty of corruption, and if not guilty of corruption, the charge could not be maintained. Sir W. FOLLETT said they did not charge him with corrup tion. They charged him with having left in the names of un qualified voters wilfully. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thanked his Learned Friend for the interruption—he was, it appeared, heartily ashamed of his case ; but on reference to the declarations, he found the charge of corruption distinctly set forth. The jury, he had no doubt, would do justice to the parties by their verdict. Lord DENMAN having summed up the case, and having commented at considerale length on the evidence, the jury deliberated for some time in the box, and at a quarter past twelve retired to their room. In about half an hour the jury returned with a verdict for the plaintiff, penalty 501. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FISHER V. WAINWRIGHT. This was an action brought by an attorney, to recover S 7/. - - 18s, 61; from the _defendant, who is a woolen-draper. The defendant, in the latter end of 1e35, was in. the possession of a bill fqr 301., accepted by a person named Guy, which was overdue. t-le employee. Mr. Fisher to sue for it, and received from him the amount of the bill. Afte.- the action had gone on to a certain length Guy became bat - ::I - opt, and the plain tiff pressed the defendant for the return of the amount of the bill and the costs be had incurred in suing Guy. On the •24th of November, an attorney named BtLchanan had an inter view with the defendant, when 131. was pa id cowards the bill of 301., and a bill, accepted by a person flamed Sabine, for 161. 65., was lodged as a security for 151. 14s. :until the money was paid, and //. 16s. was paid in the following week. Buchanan, who was the only witness for the plait ttiff, distinctly swore that the bill was lodged as a mere security, and was not discounted, though he could not say why the hill was not taken at its full amount, or wby it was taken et.ls/. 14s. The costs in the suit Fisher v. Guy amounted to 11:1. 14s. 6d. Mr. KELLY addressed the Jury for the defeidant. He said the story told was very improbable, and wc•uld not impose 1 , t 70n gentlemen who were well acquainted with business. It w;;; evident from a paper he would put in, made out by M r. B,„._ttanan, from which they would sec that at that time Sabine's was taken as a payment, and had been discounted by him on the 24th of November. If that was so, then the plaintiff had no right to recover, for he had commenced the action before• the hill was due—a course he had no right to pursue. As to the question of costs, it was for his Lordshii more than the Jury. lie contended that the defendant was not liable for .more than the costs actually paid out of pocket, and not for a ny profit tee attorney was to make by the action. The Learned Gentlema. l eallecia; crvant of the defendant , who went on the Ist Dec. .."'nd p.iid Mr. Buchanan 1/. 165., the balance stated in a paper he. took with him, which Mr. 13- took, and put paid to. An Attorney said the bill for 11/. i:4s. 6d. was a fair one• The money actually paid out of pocket would be 31. Bs. 6d. Mr. Seijeant 136mpas replied: His Lordship summed up, and the July found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 7/. 10s. 6d., being of opinion that Sa bine's, bill had been discounted, and taken in ealisfaction of the 30/. bill.

ANTI-TITHE MEETING.—On Monday last a meeti:ng of the parish of St. Mary's, Shandon, was held to petltir, n for the Et :`tal abolition of tithes and minister's money, and also for cor porate reform. TITHEe IN THE COUNTY OF WEXFORD.—We have already noticed the .'anti-tithe meeting which was held in Ross. We learn that simu;!aneous meetings in Wexford will be held 00 the 14th instant, in order that three hundred thousand voices may exclaim at the saine moment, and with one accord, "titl shall be no more." A meeting was held on Monday last at Tramore. Tun TITHE VICTIM.—The yoor man slaughtered at Shan drum was, it appears, a servant, and the sole support of a widowed mother, who is left utterly destitute by his death. An appeal has been made to us front Cork to recommend the bereaved widow's case to the sympathy of the public, with the view of obtaining, in contributions of trifling amount, the veil small sum that would suffice, when aided by local charity, to, sustain, during the brief term of life that remains to her, this miserable being, now 70 years of age. One friend has ob tained 405., collected in sums of from 6d. to 2s. 6d. We will be happy to receive and transfer to him any donations , however small, that may be had for this truly benevolent ob ject. May this " widow's son" be the last victim to the Moloch of tithes.—lrish Paper. A correspondent of the Dublin Post writes—Mr. 135 11 canvassed the electors this day. The result: was most trium phant. From electors of every shade and political opinion be scarcely met with a single refusal. Mr. Bagwell will not start.

ADDRESS TO THE a letter to the people of Ire land, dated Dublin, Feb. 8, Mr. John Law less calls on his countrymen to simultaneously hold meetings in all counties , cities, towns, and parishes, to petition the leeslature in strong and emphatic language for the extension to Ireland of the sarn o principles of corporation reform as England and Scotland enjoys- Regarding the proposed address to his Majesty, ,Mr. Lawless writes—" An address, too, of national gratitude to our King of immortal memory, William the Fourth, for his parental , honest, and comprehensive speech from the throne, would be a most creditable and wise proceeding from every part of Ire land. Well and truly may our present Sovereign boast that he is the only English Sovereign who ever was able to cony' mand the hearts and hands of the Irish I,l4tople.
